I thought about buying a beater 4x4 but the additional registration and insurance on a 4x4. I was hoping to buy a 2wd F150 that was enough to pull the 228 and yet good elsewhere. It sounds like most agree that a base F150 supercab will do it. I'll just be careful and know that there is not a...

towing Thanks for all the advice. This site is great (especially for a newbie). The boats I am looking at have hardtops and I never considered that. Well it seems that even at over 6k lbs., I'll be OK with a base F150. I know that an F250 would be better but I am trying to get enough truck...

I'm almost there. I have decided on a used Seafarer 228 but need to buy a truck. I really want the least truck I need to tow this boat to the ramp and for service, both of which are a mile from my home. I have my eye on a Ford F150 SuperCab 2 wheel drive with the small 4.6 liter eight cyl...

I have begun looking at 208's and 228's and have a question this forum may be able to answer. The new 228's and older 208's have a large section of deck that can be removed (after many years) if the vessel ever needs a fuel tank replacement. The newer 208's no longer have this large removeable...

Thanks for the advice and ...I will.

I certainly love the 228. The bracket gives me the closed transom. I've been finding several for sale used (only 2 or 3 years old) in the 40's and 50's. These boats have 50-100 hours on them. The deals are hot. I'm going to get serious near the end of the year. Thanks for all the advice...

That's a great point. It seems the only difference in cabin is the sink in the 228. My son and I both fit in the cabin of the 208 fine. The cockpit of the 208 is 41 sq ft and the 228 is 49. I think the 228 cockpit is one foot longer. I appreciate all the advice and I'll try to go the bigger...

I will hopefully be purchasing a Grady White cuddy cabin for a family boat. We have two small children (one girl and one boy). I have visited the showroom and walked around on both the 208 and the 226/228. Is the 208 large enough for family trips and fishing, just the two boys? Can anyone...
